I’m still not where I want to be, but when you compare my weight on January 1, 2008….

With my weight on October 5, 2008…

Well I’d have to say I’m doing something right, yknow, except my foot hygeine. I need a pedicure!

LA Weight Loss! FTW!

As a leader for 95Crave’s Team Diabetes Disney World and a proud member of Team Diabetes Easter Island, I have some big things planned for the radio station on November 14. Education, celebration, guest blogs and fundraising will all be a part of the day.

In the weeks leading up to World Diabetes Day, I’ll be profiling some of the events happening around the world to get you in the groove.

First up is a profile of a woman I’ve met online, Kerri Morrone.

“Diabetes doesn’t define me, but it helps explain me” is the motto of Six Until Me, her award-winning website about learning, loving, and living with over 22 years of type 1 diabetes.

Kerri is a pioneer of the diabetes blogosphere. When she started Six Until Me in May of 2005 there were only a handful of diabetes bloggers out there. The number is increasing fast as people with diabetes use online technologies to find a voice. Kerri’s early frustrations may help explain the recent growth: “I was tired of Googling ‘diabetes’ and coming up with little more than a list of complications and frightening stories. Where were all the people who were living with this disease?”

Kerri and many like her are helping provide a powerful and very personal voice to the more than 250 million people now living with diabetes worldwide. Kerri will be offering a guest blog entry on World Diabetes Day. In the meantime, I invite you to visit her site and join in the community of those helping to build relationships between people living with diabetes.
